15 Movie Scenes (That Are Only in the Trailer)

Making a movie is a hard job – you have to film hours and hours of footage, with dozens of different scripts sometimes, actors ad libbing, directors changing their minds and then they dump all of it on you in the editing bay, and you have to parse through all of the nonsense to make a film somehow. But before that, though, you need a trailer – and for a trailer, you don’t need to make sure that the shots are all the ones that make the most logical sense to come one after another, you can just make them whatever the hell you want. Whatever is new, weird or exciting, even if it would make the movie a total mess — it can all go into the exciting, fun, cool, new, sexy trailer… even if it doesn’t end up in the film itself. Because of that, you get some iconic moments from films that are never actually in the movie itself. We’re talking about stuff like…
